Imany – You Will Never Know (unplugged with Jack Parker-Taous) 

Following in the sophisticated footsteps of Carla Bruni, rather than the ill-advised musical forays of Naomi Campbell, Imany is one of the few supermodels to make the transition from the catwalk to the recording studio appear effortless.
Born Nadia Mladjao, in 1979, in the Comoros Islands, off the southeast coast of Africa, she grew up in France, where she initially started out as a successful high jumper before being signed by the Ford Models Europe Agency.
After several years of traveling around the world, including a six-year stint in the U.S., she returned to France to pursue her lifelong ambition of becoming a singer.
Inspired by the likes of Billie Holiday, Nina Simone, and Tracy Chapman, she began performing a blend of acoustic folk and soulful blues under the guise of Imany (Swahili for "hope") in various Parisian nightclubs and jazz bars, before releasing her debut EP, Acoustic Sessions.
After supporting Ben l'Oncle Soul and Angie Stone on their European tours, she worked with producer Malick N'Diaye (Ayo) on her first album, „The Shape of a Broken Heart”, which was released to critical acclaim in 2011.

The lyrics are:

It breaks my heart 'couse I know

you're the one for me

Don't you feel sad,

there never was a story, obviously

it'll never be, oh

and You would never know

I would never show

What I feel, what I need from you, no

and You wouldnever know

I would never show

What I feel, what I need from you

With every smile comes my reality, irony

You won't find out what has been killing me

Can't you see me?

can't you see?

and You would never know

I would never show

What I feel, what I need from you, no

and You would never know

I would never show

What I feel, what I need from you, no, no

You would never know

I would never show

What I feel, what I need from you, no, no

No no you'll never know

No no no you'll never know

No no no, love me, love me, love me, love me, no

and You would never know

I would never show

What I feel, what I need from you, no, no

You would never know

I would never show

What I feel, what I feel, what I feel

what I need, what I need from you, no
